Credits

Thank you to everyone who has created a plugin that inspired me and I took code from.

• Template suggester, created by SilentVoid13 and Liamcain (their plugins: Templater, Periodic notes)
• Apply template to note, first seen in https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban/ from Mgmeyers
• Folder underline, inspired from https://github.com/aidenlx/alx-folder-note
• Stop folders from collapsing, the basic idea from https://github.com/alangrainger/obsidian-folder-notes and some code lines
• The basic idea is from https://github.com/xpgo/obsidian-folder-note-plugin
